The Great Wall!

So, my parents came out to visit me in China. We traveled around a little saw some water towns close to Shanghai, but I think the highlight of the trip was The Great Wall for sure. We did the 10K hike which not many people do and we had the wall to ourselves plus our tour group. It was so dope. This was my second time to Beijing and I have seen the Wall before, but not like this. Last time I was running the half marathon and you couldn't see that much of the wall and most of the time you were just trying not to fall down the thing as you ran your ass off. This was so amazing for me and my parents. I only have five photos up, but if you have facebook friend me and check out the album, I put up 52 goodies. All in all I'm super happy my parents came out and I am proud of them for making the journey out here. China is as far away from NYC as you can get and having them out here was just as good as a slice of pizza from down the block. It really made my last two weeks. Enjoy the photos.

Parents visit

I have so many pictures ( as usual ) and since the internet in China is still very slow and is always telling me it can't upload photos, I'm not going to push my luck. The ones up so far are from Shanghai and a few in Beijing. I have some great ones from our trip to the Great Wall which I'll put up later tonight or tomorrow. Enjoy!

I knowwwwwww I knowwwwwwwwww....updates have been few and far between, but to be honest things have been at a standstill lately for me. The scholastic project has been postponed, bosses are on vacation, there have been some legal issues with the company we were working along side with and yada yada yada..It's gettin real hot out here in the Hai. I mean I'm outside one minute and I'm sweating..yea man, it's humid and nasty..but to nothing has been going on, it's been a lazy month. I'm in limbo, waiting for this project to start back up and have some time on my hands, but not enough time to sign up for much or that kind of thing..Just gettin back on my reading game and trying to hit the gym hard..My parents will be out in Shanghai for two weeks which I'm gearing up for..It should be a fun time..other than that, your boy Nate is good. I'll try to get some good pics up to show you the heat of Shanghai, but troopin around outside is not what I call fun right now..Blog is still here..Nate is still here...I'll get some goodies up soon..Shanghai! Come visit me!
